I’ve been thumbing over my disc book collection to discard what movies I have that I know I won’t ever watch. And I’m finding all of these editions to them. Like 25th Anniversary, Ultimate Edition, Director’s Cut .etc .etc

And I’ve always wanted to see someone like some movie buff, detail the differences between a movie when it was originally released on tape, on disc or whatever. Then describing what the differences are in later releases from the original release.

I know some channels on YouTube do this but they’re always like side-mentions or one movie will be covered. There’s no one dedicated channel out there that does this and I’m not much of a movie buff to try myself.

I would totally be watching that channel a lot if it was ever made.

    I saw a video comparing Harry Potter and The Sorecer’s Stone with Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone. For those who might not be aware, the book had a different title in the US vs the UK and so four scenes in the film were shot twice to accommodate the different title. One would expect that to throw the timing off by like half a second, but the two cuts of the film line up perfectly. In the side by side comparison, it is noticeable that Harry turns his head more in one than the other.

    Possibly off topic, but one thing I’d like to see is people upgrading the bad special effects of old movies.

    “Flash Gordon” has an incredible score from Queen, hilarious dialog, and cheesy effects.

    “The White Buffalo” is a great Western about Wild Bill Hickock and Crazy Horse. The actual monster looks like it was made out of cardboard

    Here’s a random idea: parody ASMR videos.
    Focus exclusively on very loud sounds like a wood chipper, angle grinder, chainsaw, jackhammer, shooting range, etc.

      I know of people that would appreciate gun range ASMR videos. You’ll want to tone down the audio from a sharp crack to more of a buzzing crackle, but adding in the nose of people shuffling around and messing with their guns and you might actually have a hit.

      I barely managed to work out How To Do Lemmy.

      I’m perfectly comfortably accepting that I’m an idiot, but I really do think that the fedi onboarding issue is still completely unaddressed

    Sounds like a fun channel, buy would suffer from dcma abuse because of copyright and corporations not knowing what fair use is.
